Since 1972, the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) has enabled technical innovation, supportive policy, and inspired academic breakthroughs in the uncrewed industry.
Making Autonomous Innovation Possible
Our Vision
AUVSI envisions a future where uncrewed systems, robotics, and autonomous technologies are seamlessly integrated to solve critical challenges resulting in lasting safety and societal benefits, economic growth, and enhanced national security.
Our Mission
AUVSI’s mission is to drive the uncrewed systems industry’s growth and solve industry’s challenges by addressing points of friction. We unite innovators, manufacturers, operators, and stakeholders to share knowledge, create market opportunities, and advocate for effective policies that maximize the benefits of autonomous technologies.
- We connect thinkers, designers, makers, operators, and users to >share insights and ideas, to turn questions into answers, and to learn from each other.
- We convene buyers and sellers to create market opportunities and commercial capacity.
- We communicate the value and benefits of uncrewed systems technology to the public and stakeholders.
- We collaborate with policymakers to implement effective and appropriate legislation and regulations to fully and safely maximize the benefits of the technology.
Our Strategic Plan
As a nonprofit, volunteer-led organization, AUVSI represents perspectives from the entire uncrewed industry. Our strategic plan includes goals and priorities that ensure the long-term growth and ongoing success of uncrewed and autonomous technology.
Our History
Our work began in December 1972 as the National Association of Remotely Piloted Vehicles (NARPV). Today, as the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), we advance autonomous innovations on the ground, in the air, and at sea.
